As you can see we have new layouts up at the main site and at the gallery. The header was made by me and the lovely themes are by Sin21. A couple of days ago Yvonne attended the 2018 PaleyFest for “The Handmaid’s Tale”, she looked lovely as always, pictures of her at the event have been added to the gallery. In addition, Yvonne is on the cover of Fashion Magazine and Jones Magazine and is featured in Marie Claire Australia & Hunger Magazine. The gallery has been updated with scans & photoshoots from the magazine features as well as additions from a few photoshoots from last year.

On August 8th Yvonne attended the 2017 Summer TCA Tour – 33rd Annual Television Critics Association Awards. Pictures of her at it have been added to the gallery. The gallery has also been updated with a beautiful new photoshoot.

As she cruelly controls and manipulates Elisabeth Moss’ character Offred, Serena Joy is commonly perceived as a villain on “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and actress Yvonne Strahovski agrees that her character is a bad person.

“One thing I really struggled with was to relate to her to begin with and turn my judgmental self off because I don’t agree with what she is doing,” the actress said in an interview with TheWrap. “It was really about peeling away all the judgment and seeing who she is on the inside.

“In the book we don’t get to explore Serena Joy’s backstory [as a televangelist who advocated for women to return to traditional family values] as much as we do on the television show, so it was important to try to humanize this villain … to try and feel for her as well,” Strahovski continued.

Hulu’s groundbreaking adaptation of Margaret Atwood’s 1985 dystopian novel was filmed during the presidential election last November, and airs in the subsequent aftermath and the dawn of the Trump era. Parallels between Atwood’s fictional theocratic military dictatorship of the Republic of Gilead and Donald Trump’s America have not been lost on viewers, the cast or even the author herself.

“It was really astounding fascinating to watch things unfold in real life in politics … the derogatory comments that Trump made about women and all the fallout from that,” Strahovski, who is Australian-born to Polish parents, told TheWrap. “Making the show pre-election and then post-election, and then realizing as they are editing it how real and how topical this show is going to be.”

Earlier this week, “The Handmaid’s Tale” even inspired abortion bill protestors to dress in its signature red robes and white bonnets in opposition of a proposed state legislation in Ohio.

“I think what is so great is that the show is sparking very real conversations about substantial things we need to talk about in today’s society,” Strahovski said.

“The show talks about people’s real fears in the world and here in the States, it is alarming to watch. I myself sit at home and I know what is happening [on the Hulu series], I can’t help to feel alarmed about what is going on as it feels so close to home — it feels too close. This was originally a story about a future world. But what the show does really well is show how present that future is — it’s now.

As for the complexities of Serena Joy, who went from being involved in writing the laws of the Republic to being subservient to her husband, Commander Waterford (Joseph Fiennes), Strahovski said: “This idea of being stripped of so many things you would have a right to … women weren’t allowed to read or write in this society. She was a writer and a spokeswoman — then she had that taken away from her.

“I see this boiling pot of water with this lid on it … that was the image I kept hold of her as there’s no outlet in Gilead,” she added.

The gallery has been updated with Yvonne’s recent photoshoots and magazine features. Yvonne is on the cover of the Spring issue of Pulse Spikes and is featured in the June issue of Elle Canada. Previews and gallery links below:

The Handmaid's Tale is the story of life in the dystopia of Gilead, a totalitarian society in what was formerly the United States. Facing environmental disasters and a plunging birthrate, Gilead is ruled by a twisted fundamentalism in its militarized ‘return to traditional values'.
